On Nov. 14, a corrections officer gave the inmate his cell assignment. According to reports, he then walked up the stairs, set a bag of belongings on the ground beside his cell and jumped over the railing. Jail officials said a Code White, which warns of a suicide attempt, was sounded.

The inmate was secured on a stretcher and taken to a Daytona Beach hospital.

The officer said the inmate didn't "say or do anything" that indicated he wanted to harm himself.

He was the second inmate to die after a suicide attempt this month.
